She has had a full career and in addition to representing Canada at the Olympics has also taken part in Pan American Games as a representative of her country.

Vol. 87, No. 18 MAPLE LEAGUE NEED COACHES AND (TONVENORS This small plea on behalf of Dalt McArthur and the Maple Hockey League is specifically painted to- ward Maple residents. To make the league the suc- cess that it could and should be, more coaches and some more convenors are urgently needed. The league has grown from previous years and some 200 boys are now registered for play at the Double Rink Arena in Concord. From all reports the arena is a pretty nice setup and provides all the comfort and convenience any- one could wish for. It wouldn‘t he too much of a chore or inconvenience to coach or convene leagues in relative comfort. A lot of parents are in the habit of taking young junior to the arena and then stay until the bitter endâ€"it gets that fascinating. If you’re one of these hockey enthusiastic parents why not give Dalt McArthur a call at 832-1438 and volunteer your services. Try it for kicks and you’ll probably find that you’ll get a real charge out of it. The cause is good and the need is urgent so come on you Maple dwellers and give the McArthur ’phone a real work- out! We also stock Kaufman Scout, fully insulated boots Welded sole construction.

The decision to dis- band was reached on Tuesday night following a meeting in the arena. Chairman Clarence Fockler said that the icing of an inter- mediate entry in Brooklin had taken almost all the players from Greenwood-Mount Zion.j There were not enough teams left to form a local league. Ringwood. the powerhouse of the group for the past four seasons, may also go OHA if a sponsor can be found to assist the club. They would form a fourth team with Port Perry, Bowmanville and Brooklin Richmond Hill’s 5,000 families will be canvassed shortly to complete the centennial swimming pool’s first outdoor stage this year. Pool Fund Needs $25, 000 So Kids Swim Next Summer RICHMOND HILL LTD. According to Councillor Wal- ter Scudds, there is a distinct possibility the money can be obtained from the board‘s hud- The big "If" at the moment is whether the local parks board will give up its $5,000 to the pool. He has been offered the use of a gas heater from the To- ronto firm of Dunham and Bush and temporary polyethylene windows might keep out win- ter’s damage but a more perm-1 anent type of heating and win-1 dows is obviously desirable. All these things can be in~ stalled if Richmond Hill cit- izens assess the really amazing progress of the pool and dig into their pockets to finish the thing off, at least to a “swim- able” stage. 1 If there isn’t some form of fence installed around the pool’s perimeter the huge open hole, which has to be filled with water this winter to protect the cement, will be an open in- vitation to danger and per- haps even tragedy. An emergency situation might develop if money can’t be found very soon for some form of interior heating in the change rooms, Pool Architect Douglas Allen said. 'l‘rust. B u c k e t s for donations-in- change, placed all around the town for the past 10 months, will be pulled in short‘y by Civitan Len Pugh and his com- mittee. INDUSTRIAL CANVASS Six members of the Rich- vmond Hill Jaycees will be mak- ing the rounds to all industrial concerns not previously canvas- sed for their support, so far as untapped source of revenue for ;the pool. The “rush” $3,000 will pay pool contractor A. Petersons when he completes this stage of the work at the end of the month and provide some form of heating and enclosure of the change house for the winter. If there’s no heat, the walls will crack wide open and sev- eral months‘ costly work will be down the drain. This amount will pay for plumbing, radiators, hot water, heaters and pipes, ventilation, filtration equipment, electrical work, aluminum windows, toilet partitions, glass and glazing, a permanent f e n c e, caulking, painting, lettering, terrazzo and ceramic tile and mill work. About $3,000 worth of swim equipment is needed and arch- itects' fees of $3.000 are still outstanding. At its present stage of con- struction, the pool has cost $76,398 to build as a basic struc- ure but another $25 000 is an absolute must to make it a fin- ished product ‘ There is $40,000 in cash and solid pledges, $36,000 in a fed- eral-provincial centennial grant and an anticipated $5,000 grant from the Richmond Hill Parks Board as part of a government assistance - to - new - parks pro- gram; a total of $81,000.

How much money DOES the pool fund have? Immediate need is about $3,000 in cold hard cash within the next six weeks. The long-range need is $25,000 so the kids can be swimming by next spring in a completely equipped and furnished pool with change house. are not frills, All that’s necessary is money in the bank and a steady hand on the cheque book. What‘s needed now is a con- centrated effort on the part of the community to cross this last financial barrier. The pool has never been a dead issue in Richmond Hill, at least not to the people trying to get it built the best way they‘ve been able. Vauglian and Markham Coun- cil's are on public record that although any spare money was not available this year, 1965 budgets could include sizeable contributions to the pool. And there is a distinct hope residents with children in Vaughan, Markham and King will see the pool’s advantages and help boost the fund. Buckets for donations-in- change, placed all around the town for the past 10 months, will be pulled in shortly by Civitan Len Pugh and his com- mittee. 1 Philips Electronics in Leaside ‘has donated a portable record ‘player for the person selling the most chances on the 14 carat card; it‘s on display at Vicky Page’s music store at Richmond Heights Centre and book tickets are available to sell at British Mortgage and Trust. Another that has gone its dogged way all summer is the $1 chance to win a solid gold membership card entitling the bearer to a lifetime of free swimming when the pool opens next year. Lions Special Events Chair- man Cliff Bennett said the dance at $2 a ticket will include dancing and refreshments at the Lions Hall, Centre Street East. money-raising plan Money is still owing from a ratepayers’ dance and a share of the successful Legion-spon- sored circus this summer, the ‘committee learned last week. ‘ BENEFIT DANCE The pool fund will share equal billing wth the Hilltop- pers band and majorettes to benefit from Richmond Hill Lions-sponsored dance and fun night December 4. get to meet the pool's immed- iate needs but some decision will no doubt be made at the council level within the next few weeks. The appeal, drafted by Resi- dential Canvass Chairman Peter Sale last week, will include a cheque form and a return stamped envelope. It’s the first hard-hitting de- mand for pool money since 400 canvassers brought in the in- itial $40,000 last spring; money in dribs and drabs from 01- ganizations and individuals has come in and several projects have been mooted but never materialized. The dance is one upcoming Second section Dennis Stainer and Vern Everingham won the men’s doubles title but the men’s sin- gles still remains to be decid- ed. Sam Malcolmson and Vern Everingham are the finalists and it is hoped that it can be decided this weekend, weather permitting. Tennis club members are urged to remember the annual meeting and dance i to be held at the Masonic Hall on Crosby Avenue. Date of the event is Nov- ember 6 and the meeting is due to commence at 8:30 pm. with dancing in full swing by 9.30 p.m. Admission is $3 per couple and refreshments and a really good time are avail- able to all. Partnered by Dennis Stain- er, the mixed double crown was also added to her string to make a clean sweep for the year! She swept to victory in the ladies’ singles then teamed up with Lou Holland to win the ladies’ doubles. Ann Holbek Tennis Chp. Ann Holbek won every tro- phy and event it was possible for her to enter in Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis Club cham- pionships play. Books of tickets may be obtained at British Mortgage & Trust Company, corner of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue. The life membership is a solid gold card entitling its holder to a lifetime of swim- ming in the pool, which last week had the roof of the change house lifted in place by a crane. This compact portable allhspeed record player donated to the Richmond Hill Swimming Pool Com- mittee by Philips Electronics of Leaside will belong to the boy or girl who can sell the most tickets for the pool’s life membership draw when the town’s pool opens up next summer.
